Abstract
A presbyopia correcting intraocular lens implant for implanting in a human eye includes an implant body having a central lens enclosure and at least one stability tab extending therefrom. At least one ciliary body sensor senses movement of the eye's ciliary body. An electronic module is embedded in the implant body and includes a microprocessor communicative with the ciliary body sensor. A dynamic lens assembly is housed in the central lens enclosure and has a dynamic range of continuous accommodation. The lens implant also includes a renewable intraocular power supply.
